Susan - Thank you so MUCH for all the information - it's just wonderful that you volunteered with such a comprehensive reply - all the information you quoted is of great help to me, and I know will be the same for Lynne. I also will pass along part of it to another person who has been looking for information about the Rayville Meeting, and I know he will be equally appreciative. We'll all be looking forward to the results of your efforts to put the book on-line at GenNet - it's not a title I've come across and don't know how I ever would have learned about it if you hadn't responded! Thank you so much, and I hope you'll be pleased to know how delighted your efforts have made us!
Best,
Karlynn

Hi Karlyn & Lynne,
I saw you posts and thought I would give you the names of the Ashley men from Chatham who served in the Civil War from The History of Coumbia County by Captain Ellis (1878), page 442
Wm. H. Ashley, orderly sergt; enl. Sept 22, 1861, 2d Pro. Cav.; pro to 2d lieut.; dicharged.
Abraham J. Ashley, 1st liet; enl. July 14, 1862, 128th Regt.; pro. to adj.; disch. for disability, March 1863.
Charles F. Ashley, enl. Sept. 16, 1862, 7th Cav., Co. I; disch. June, 1865.
James F. Ashley, enl 7th Cav., Co. I
Charles H. Ashley, enl. Aug. 8, 1864, 61st Regt., Co E; killed near Richmond, April 6, 1865.
David C. Ashley, sergt.; Sept. 22, 1861, 7th Cav.; disch; re-enl. Sept. 12, 1863, 2d Vet. Cav., Co. I; killed at Red River, April 4, 1864.
On page 285 under the heading "Justices of the Peace," for the years 1853 and 1857 Russell D. Ashley is listed and for the year 1871, Abram Ashley, Jr. is listed.
On page 292, Abram Ashley, Jr. was secretary of The Masonic and Minsterial Relief Association of Columbia County, organized July 23, 1872. " The home office was in the Masonic building at Chatham village.
On page 289 in the Ellis book for the village of Rayville, I quote "Among the early settlers may be named the Reynolds and Finch families, Obadiah Wilbor, Noah Ashley, The Gardners, and the Browns."
One page 295 "THE FRIENDS' MEETING OF RAYVILLE" was established about 1777, and was composed of members from the Finch, Reynolds, Wilbor, Mosher, Coffin, Swain, and Barnard families. Later the Ray, Gardner, Smith and Cornell families were added to the meeting. A house of worship was built about 1800, by Palmer Holmes, in which semi-weekly meetings have since been held, generally with silent worship. The meeting at present [1878] numbers about forty members."
Then on page 442 is a list of people from Chatham who contributed towards the publication of the book; a H. A. Ashley, son of Henry and Hannah (Smith) Ashley, b Columbia Co., N.Y. 1809, Farmer; P. O., Chatham Village.
And on page 443, Chatham Village: Abraham Ashley, Jr., son of Abraham and Deliah (Beeman) Ashley, b Columbia co., N. Y., 1816, Justice of the Peace; P.O., Chatham Village.
As I don't have the "all-name index" for this book, I just looked in the town of Chatham for any Ashley's. I am in the process of putting the entire book on-line at UsGenNet at http://www.usgennet.org/usa/ny/county/columbia/
Hope all this helps in your search.
Regards,
Susan

Hi, Lynne,
Spent some time this morning looking for rosters of the Regiments Bernard, Abraham, Jr. and William ASHLEY were in - found (at ancestry.com database, Civil War Service Records) confirmation of Abraham, Jr. and William H....didn't find Bernard on a roster, but did find his Application for Disability Pension, with the same Reg. as listed on his headstone, so at least I know he was there! I also found Russell D. Ashley (another brother) - two listings in the same Civil War Records, two different Regiments. I have no way of knowing if it's the same Russell D. or not - the
birthdate I have for him is December 10, 1810, which made him about 50 years old (and 1860 Census gives his age as 49, so think the birthdate is probably close to correct). If it's the same Russell D. Ashley, that means his parents had FOUR sons in the Civil War - how awful, even though they all came back to Chatham! And at least they were all fighting on the same side! If you have any info about these Ashleys and the Civil War, would you please let me know? Thanks, Karlynn

Karlynn, would LOVE to discuss Bernard Ashley!!! I have gotten some info from a (long lost) cousin of mine who did ALOT of research, but certainly I would love to have more and share what I have! I still have many, many questions. Have you been to the Quaker Cemetary where the "Ashleys" are buried? I did go there and took pics of the various family members' tombstones for my records. Please email me and maybe we could exchange phone numbers or if you have an online chat program we could talk that way. Look forward to hearing from you.... Lynne

WOW! Awsome! I am not sure of the exact dates, but the 1880 sounds in the right ballpark. Have you had any luck locating dates? Please keep in touch and let me know what you learn. I have been so frustrated for over 15 years trying to get ahead on that line of my family. I just can't believe I have actually found a cousin alive and well. Hi! I would love to send you an invitation to my web site at MyFamily.Com. If you see it come in, you will know who it is coming from. On it I have a copy of the article where I found those names. Prior to that time I had almost nothing past my own grandfather.

Karlynn, Yes I am still searching for one Joseph Mosher and Rosanna Reynolds and am hoping to find them somewhere in the Quaker Records. They may or may not have been Quakers although Rosanna Reynolds father Nehemiah Reynolds and his wife Austus/Austress was a Quaker and lived near Chatham in Columbia County New York in his last days until his death about 1803. I will contact you.

Thanks for the reply. All I know is that David VanDeusen was born in 1832 and died in 1910. His wife Margaret Raught was born in 1840 in Claverack NY???? and died in 1917. They are buried in the Ghent Union Cemetary. They had three children: Ella (1858-1941, my great, great grandmother) Garner (1860-1950, never married), and Mary (1863-1938, never married).

Elizabeth Smith, daughter of Nicholas Smith and Sarah Klerk was baptisized
on December 29, 1765 at the Reformed Dutch Church, Kinderhook, NY.
According to Nicholas Smith's will dated 1805, Elizabeth at that time had
the last name of Clark. Would anyone know who her husband was and anything
about her family?
Thanks,
Roger Smith
